The Institute Library is here in downtown New Haven and is home to many interesting events like Amateur Hour. Whenever there is a new Amateur Hour, we are all bound for a treat. The Library brings in an amateur of a subject that’s cool and different, and we get to hear them talk about their involvement. At this Amateur Hour, we heard Michael Bell talk about his work and research of vampire folklore in New England.
